There are many ways to evaluate your intranet. For instance, by regularly polling your users. You can also look at the statistics: how often is the intranet accessed. Have you ever thought of benchmarking your intranet with the intranets of the world? When I was at Oce, we did. (My ex-colleague Jan van Veen also wrote about this experience here.) We participated in the Intranet Innovation Awards by StepTwo Designs. We didn’t win…, but participating was worth it. Just by filling out the participation form is a great learning experience in itself.
You’re evaluating the intranet before the intranet is evaluated by the expert panel of the Awards itself.
The Intranet Innovation Awards is about celebrating innovative intranets and/or segments of the intranet. So your whole intranet does not have to be special, as long as part of it is, you’ve got something to submit to these Awards. And if you win, it’s a great way to get international attention for the hard work you put into your web workplace.
You can find more on how to participate here. I hope you will hop in and submit your entry to these Awards. But be quick, May 31 is the deadline.
Join the State of Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration Survey
Although social media has been around for some time and more and more examples of the opportunity of social media for business are popping up, I find we are still just getting started. More experiments need to be done to show the power of social media within, between and outside companies. More research need to be done to prove the value of social media for business. And that’s one of the things Jacob Morgan of the Chess Media Group is doing. With the survey The State of Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration they want to get more understanding on “how emergent social and collaborative technologies are being used for sharing information and collaborating within organizations (not partner or customer facing)”. Jacob has written several case studies about Enterprise 2.0 adoption. One of which I had the pleasure to provide input for.
Filling out the survey will only take about 10 minutes. I hope you can find that time to help us all gain a deeper understanding of this new, vibrant and exciting field.

IBF24 – I’m in! #ibf24
For the first time I’ll be participating in IBF24. I don’t know why this is only my first time. The program is great, interesting speakers and companies are giving talk, also about more general topics like social business and collaboration, and it’s free!
I’ll be in the slot on Thursday, May 18 from 7:00-9:00 (Amsterdam time). But I’ll be dipping in regularly. And all the sessions can be rerun afterwards as well.
Will you be joining the IBF24 (#ibf4)? If so, leave a comment. Hope to meet you there.
